Benefits of technology

[0013]It should be appreciated that the above referenced aspects and examples are non-limiting, as others exist within the present invention, as shown and described herein.

Problems solved by technology

It is believed that one problem associated with the manufacture of multi-layered laminate structures is the ability to manufacture a part with consistent dimensional / geometric characteristics (e.g. length, width, thickness, profiles).
Another problem may be manufacturing inefficiencies, such as high scrap rates, slow cycle times, and / or the need for secondary operations (e.g. secondary trimming or milling operations).
Problems with the placing, holding or nesting of the individual layers also may be an issue.
Yet another further problem may be introduced due to inconsistencies in the lamination process itself (e.g. energy application, vacuum application, etc.).

examples

[0046]In one illustrative example, seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lamination frame 1000 includes a first frame surface 1010, a second frame surface 1012 and an external side frame surface 1014 interconnecting the first and second surfaces thus defining a frame thickness. The frame 1000 may include an internal side frame surface 1014 that projects towards the second frame surface 1012 from the first frame surface 1010 (at least through a portion of the frame thickness or all the frame thickness in places) defining a first frame pocket 1100 and a first frame pocket side wall profile 1110. The first frame pocket side wall profile 1110 includes a taper 1112 of about 1.5° in the first 10% of the profile 1110 as measured vertically, more preferably more than 50% or more.

[0047]In a second illustrative example, seen in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lamination frame 1000 includes an insertable frame piece 1020. In this example, the insertable frame piece 1020 includes an insert taper 1022 that is opposite ...
